The following conditions shall apply to the compliance schedule required by §
146-67B(7):
A. The schedule shall contain progress increments in
the form of dates for the commencement and completion of major events
leading to the construction and operation of additional pretreatment
required for the user to meet the applicable pretreatment standards
(such events include, but are not limited to, hiring an engineer,
completing preliminary and final plans, executing contracts for major
components, commencing and completing construction, and beginning
and conducting routine operation);
B. No increment referred to above shall exceed nine months;
C. The user shall submit a progress report to the Superintendent
no later than 14 days following each date in the schedule and the
final date of compliance, including, as a minimum, whether or not
it complied with the increment of progress, the reason for any delay,
and, if appropriate, the steps being taken by the user to return to
the established schedule; and
D. In no event shall more than nine months elapse between
such progress reports to the Superintendent.
Within 90 days following the date for final compliance with applicable categorical pretreatment standards, or in the case of a new source following commencement of the introduction of wastewater into the POTW, any user subject to such pretreatment standards and requirements shall submit to the Superintendent a report containing the information described in §
146-67B(4) through
(6). For users subject to equivalent mass or concentration limits established in accordance with the procedures in 40 CFR 403.6(c), this report shall contain a reasonable measure of the user's long-term production rate. For all other users subject to categorical pretreatment standards expressed in terms of allowable pollutant discharge per unit of production (or other measure of operation), this report shall include the user's actual production during the appropriate sampling period. All compliance reports must be signed and certified in accordance with §
146-58 and be in accordance with 40 CFR 403.12(d) and (g).
Unless waived by the Superintendent, each user
must notify the Superintendent of any planned significant changes
to the user's operations or system which might alter the nature, quality
or volume of its wastewater at least 30 days before the change.
A. The Superintendent may require the user to submit such information as may be deemed necessary to evaluate the changed condition, including the submission of a wastewater discharge permit application under §
146-57.
B. The Superintendent may issue a wastewater discharge permit under §
146-59 or modify an existing wastewater discharge permit under §
146-63 in response to changed conditions or anticipated changed conditions.
C. For purposes of this requirement, significant changes
include, but are not limited to, flow increases of 25% or greater,
and the discharge of any previously unreported pollutants.
All users not required to obtain a wastewater
discharge permit shall provide appropriate reports to the Superintendent
as the Superintendent may require.
The Town may require any person to provide such
information as the Town deems appropriate to determine whether any
action or activity undertaken by such person or on such person's property
is in compliance with the requirements of this Part 2, poses a threat
to human health and the environment or interferes with the health,
safety, peace, comfort or convenience of the general community.
If sampling performed by a user indicates a
violation, the user must notify the Superintendent within 24 hours
of becoming aware of the violation. The user shall also repeat the
sampling and analysis and submit the results of the repeat analysis
to the Superintendent within 30 days after becoming aware of the violation.
Where the Town has performed the sampling and analysis in lieu of
the industrial user, the Town may perform the repeat sampling and
analysis unless it notifies the user of the violation and requires
the user to perform the repeat analysis. The user is not required
to resample if the Superintendent monitors at the user's facility
at least once a month, or if the Superintendent samples between the
time initial sampling was conducted and when the user or the Town
receives the results of this sampling.
All pollutant analyses, including sampling techniques,
to be submitted as part of a wastewater discharge permit application
or report, shall be performed in accordance with the techniques prescribed
in 40 CFR 136, unless otherwise specified in an applicable categorical
pretreatment standard. If 40 CFR 136 does not contain sampling or
analytical techniques for the pollutant in question, sampling and
analyses must be performed in accordance with procedures approved
by EPA.
Written reports will be deemed to have been
submitted on the date postmarked. For reports which are not mailed,
postage prepaid, into a mail facility serviced by the United States
Postal Service, the date of receipt of the report shall govern.
Users subject to the reporting requirements
of this Part 2 shall retain, and make available for inspection and
copying, all records of information obtained pursuant to any monitoring
activities required by this Part 2, including documentation associated
with best management practices, and any additional records of information
obtained pursuant to monitoring activities undertaken by the user
independent of such requirements. Records shall include the date,
exact place, method and time of sampling, and the name of the person(s)
taking the samples; the dates analyses were performed; who performed
the analyses; the analytical techniques or methods used; and the results
of such analyses. These records, including documentation associated
with best management practices and compliance with wastewater discharge
permit requirements shall remain available for a period of at least
three years. This period shall be automatically extended for the duration
of any litigation concerning the user or the Town, or where the user
has been specifically notified of a longer retention period by the
Superintendent.
Any user of the system must report and provide
notification to the Superintendent of any discharge of hazardous waste
and comply with all requirements of 40 CFR 403.12(p).
